Fine arts at the centre. Trade, logistics and consultancy in support of it.
Every licensed activity below exists to serve one purpose: moving and advising on fine art, antiques and artefacts without a single handover being left to chance.

What you receive at each stage.
A written scope before work begins. A condition report and photographic record for every object. A single file reference covering packing, freight, insurance and clearance. A delivery check against the original condition report, signed on handover.
Quotations are fixed. Where a cost cannot be fixed — duties, storage beyond the agreed window — it is named as a variable before you sign, not added afterwards.
Documentation prepared before it is needed, not after.
Customs declarations, insurance certificates and export permits are drafted alongside the crate, not chased once a shipment is already in transit. Every file carries a single reference number that ties the object, its condition report and its documentation together.
Institutional buyers, registrars and customs authorities see the same standard of paperwork every time — it is one of the reasons the practice is trusted with loan logistics and diplomatic consignments.
